2012 LAND ROVER RANGE ROVER4.4L DIESEL

The vehicle remains roadworthy, but the maintenance trend shows a shift towards developing mechanical issues after a clean period. While the car passed its February 2026 test at 118,210 miles, the tester flagged multiple defects that were absent in the previous two years of testing. The sudden appearance of corrosion on both front brake pipes and wear on the rear suspension arm bushes indicates that the vehicle is beginning to show age-related degradation that will soon require proactive intervention. The mileage pattern is consistent with a fourteen-year-old vehicle, averaging approximately 8,400 miles per year. There is a significant gap in the records between February 2022 at 89,205 miles and February 2023 at 111,671 miles, where the vehicle covered over 22,000 miles in a single year. Since then, usage has levelled out to roughly 6,500 miles per annum, which explains the emergence of wear on rubber components and suspension hardware seen in the most recent entries. A buyer must prioritize a physical inspection of the braking system, as the 2026 test noted corroded brake pipes covered in grease, which suggests an attempt to mask surface rust or minor fluid leaks. The rear suspension arm bushes are showing signs of wear and should be checked for excessive play to prevent handling instability or uneven tyre wear. Additionally, the reported oil leak in the latest test needs to be traced to ensure it is a minor seal failure rather than a rapidly failing engine component, especially given the high mileage.
